4 of a Kind

Chapter 3: Live and Love

Devin's P.O.V.

I walk down the steps slowly and try not to fall I'm so tired. I stop thinking about falling taking a step every 5 seconds and start bobbing my head and feel my messy bun touch my neck and the loose hairs hanging down.

When I finally reach the last step I start walking on the cold hardwood floor. When I finally reach the kitchen and open my eyes I'm staring and the cabinet willing it to open. Finally I gather all the strength in my arm, grab a mug from the cabinet and start my coffee machine.

As I go to sit down with my coffee I hear someone walking down the steps. I really don't care who it is so I just lay my head down on the granite counter.

I finally look up when I hear cabinets opening and closing. I'm so shocked I almost drop my mug. I start to cry as I run over and squeeze him from behind.

"Drew you're home!" He turns around and I see my brothers face for the first time in a year. He's smiling and I stare into his eyes which are watering too. "Don't start crying on me Dev. I missed you so much I might cry" I smile and wipe my eyes. "At least I'm a girl and it doesn't matter if I cry. I missed you too"

Drew and I were like the best of friends we did everything together. When our parents weren't getting along he'd work super hard to cheer me up. He also got along with my friends, which was great, especially Madison. They hung out ALL the time.

It was almost as hard for her as me when he left for college last year.

"So how have you been?" He asks as he steals a drink of my coffee. "Great. How's college life treating you bub?" I say as I swat his hand away.

"It's good I mean it has it perks and it has it's downs to-" we sit and talk for a while until the moment of bliss is over and my stupid friends come barging in and yell "your most favoritest people in the whole entire universe!!!"

They all stop when they see Drew sitting beside me on the couch. Andy's the first one to do anything and squeals as she practically tackles us. Sam's next as she piles on. Madison kinda stands there tearing up, Drew scoots over and pats the seat beside him. Madison slowly walks over and when she finally stops in front of the couch he pulls her down and wraps her in a hug.

I hear him whisper that he missed her as he lets go of her and everyone is still smiling. We stay home for most of the day watching movies, laughing, and just talking.

We all fall asleep eventually. Me on the floor, Andy on the arm chair, Sam half on half off the coffee table, and Madison and Drew sitting beside each other on the couch.

I know we all fell asleep with smiles on our faces because we had no reason to not be happy. Right now we need to enjoy the happiness life has to offer.

Authors note:

This was boring but I needed a filler and a way to introduce the new character Drew. Keep voting and reading guys!
